Individual outcome (apart from group-work outcome):
Evaluation in a Nutshell
• Huge Interest
(active/passive, scientific staff, teachers, educators, parents, etc.)
• -week format
• Learning – in between tools & topics
• Community product: (60%)
In their own words ...
28
Groupwork online and offline
Intensity and Group-Experiences
„It was more intensive, more focused and more effective. The
working-process was much faster with google-drive. If you meet
face-to-face, then you might waste your time on drinking coffee.
In this case we worked more effective, all at the same time.
29
Groupwork online and offline
Impact of online-groupwork
„It was a benefit to simultaneously write on one
document. We recognized that because it was so easy to
collaborate. And so we achieved progress really fast.“
30
Groupwork online and offline
Willingness to coorperate/task allocation
„It was a big advantage that all group members could work together in a
document: Two of us read while the others kept on writing. And it simplified
our communication, for example about modifications. That was really
convenient and made our working-process much easier. It was completely
different compared to a face-to-face-meeting.“
31
Groupwork online and offline
Time Exposure and Media Diversity
„To coordinate when to use which tool, was the only
thing, that was more time-consuming (than in face-to-
face-communication).“
32
Groupwork online and offline
Areal Distance and Focus on the topic
„Well, we were in a hangout and in the meantime we worked
together in a Etherpad. Wording and organizing in the document
was much easier than in a four-person face-to-face-meeting. It
works better, because each participant has access to the whole
content and is able to add ideas.”
33
Groupwork online and offline
Visibility and Focus on Product
„Actually, it was a good idea with these reviews, because they fostered exchange/conversation among the community-members. For example, my work was judged by a unknown person who was not studying at university. It was a good review and it made me kind of proud, that a ‘foreigner’ appreciated my work.”
„Well, in my opinion the online-course was very productive in contrast to traditional lessons, in which you just have to prepare a presentation for the group. This way of knowledge-sharing is not really sufficient. That´s why I liked the idea of the course-product, because it made me feel, that I´ve done something productive and sustainable. That was really good.”
34
Groupwork online and offline
The Web as a „real“ learning space
„Most of the time, we communicate and research online. For
sure, I go to university, but I rather live in the WorldWideWeb,
where I learn, talk and discuss with other people. For me it was
like: Finally working where I already used to work.“
